The new edition of the Fellini Award starts with Alfonso Cuarón. The Mexican director and screenwriter, a two-time Oscar winner for Gravity (2013) and Roma (2018) - the latter also winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival - will receive the honor at the Teatro Galli on Sunday, December 7.
In 2025 the Municipality of Rimini has decided to revive and relaunch the award fourteen years after its last edition.
With this new cycle for this prestigious recognition named after the great Master from Rimini, a connection interrupted since 2011 is thus re-established. This is thanks also to the renewed collaboration with the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, one of the most qualified and prestigious organizations in the international field of cinematographic culture, and its director, Gian Luca Farinelli, artistic coordinator of the award.
Alfonso Cuarón’s directorial debut was in 1992 with Sólo con tu pareja (Love in the Time of Hysteria). In 1998, he directed Great Expectations, an adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel featuring Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Robert De Niro. In 2001, he was revealed to the public at the Venice Film Festival with Y tu mamá también, winning the award for Best Screenplay and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Emerging Actors (Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna). Since then, he has followed up with critical and commercial successes, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Children of Men (2006), Gravity (2013), and Roma (2018, Golden Lion at Venice). In 2024, he directed the television series Disclaimer (2024).
